Abstract
A safety system in a vehicle may be activated by receiving information indicating a physical change, such as a pressure, of an interval cavity associated with a tire or tire guard. The safety system may be activated based at least in part on the physical change (e.g. an increase in a pressure by at least a threshold amount, an increase of a pressure to a threshold pressure, or a rate of change of a pressure), in addition to other, external, information.
